FRuITIoN.

The clouds hang too low, too low.
The ice-bound streams refuse 70 sing;
The cold, bleak blasts may bitter blow.
And natures pulse refuse to flow
But, true as Truth. at last comes Springi
We toll and till with brain and hand
That our poor world may brighter yield;
We see no blossom on the land;
But, as we falter, Gods command
Brings summer sun and golden field
Down where the reapers sickle rings,
We look and yearn for harvests DER;
Our hearts are full of murmurfngs;
We toll in doubt. Lo, Autumn brings,
As true as Time. its treasure-store.
All, true to Gods good time, are done;
All, true rs Truth, despite our fear;
Each cycle rounded out in sun
Or shade; all sweet fruition won
o weary hearts, have cheer, good cheer.

operations in all these divisions were

posted in the safes at Paris 4.23S, 251

mounted to El20, 960, 900 - represent
ing 25l,5S2 deposits brought by
44,869 depositors. OF the first Kind

number of securities in the safes at
Paris was 2, sos. 252-representing E32,-
923, 5O6, of 1877 different descriptions,
belonging to 1,157 depositors. Dur
ing the year, 10000 persons called at
the bank in connection with these
securities. Only three branches-those
at Bordeaux, Lyons and Marseilles-
appear as having carried on any oper-
atoms in connection with the deposits
of securities. The branches trans
mitted to the chief Office 99.116 cou-
pons. The amount of the charges for
custody of valuables at Paris reached
E35, 617; and at the three branches
enumerated, 1881; and, as the report
goes on to say, these charges are a
trifling recompense for the expense and
the responsibilities which the under
taking these duties imposes on the bank.
The branches, of which there are
ninety-four, are classified according to
the Importance of the business done at
each during the year. Placed in order
according to the extent of their oper-
atoms, numbers are affixed agains,
them to show the order in which each
branch stands in respect of the profits.
The branches at Bordeaux, Mar
settles, Lyons. Havre, Lille and
Rouen, stand in the first rank as re-
CARDS the Importance of their oper-
ations; bu. respectively first, second,
fifth, third. fourth, and tenth in respect
of their profits. The largest net profits
(f72,717) were realized at Marseilles;
the smallest (f2D at Digne; and five
branches showed a loss. One of these.
Barbecue, stands forty-fourth in re-
spect of its operations. but shows a loss
of fl37. La Roche-sur- Yon shows the
highest loss (f662).
The expenses connected with the
Bank at Paris amounted to f255, 472;
at the branches, f236, 693; and those of
a general character, such as cost of
transport of specie, duties and taxes,

the branches had cost FL, 1884, 938; but
of this, there had been written off

ployed at Paris was about the same as
those employed by the Bank of England

the branches numbered 1922.

AUSTRIAN NOBILITY.


Unquestionsbly the Pooreat Yet Most Ex-
elusive Aristocracy In the World.
No aristocracy Of the world is so ex-
elusive as that of Vienna. It seems to
have inherited the appalling loneliness
and isolation Of the Hapsburgs. The
English nobility admit ordinary NOR
tails to their presence if their character
or intellectual ability entities them to a
certain distinction. 1t is so also in
Germany and elsewhere, where titled
aristocracy exists. : 1t is not SO il
Vienna Here nothing but the bluest
of blue blood entities him in whose
veins that precious fluid flows to min
gle with the real hasa ton. Official po-
sition amounts to nothing. A foreign
ambassador may be the most eminent
Of savants, skilled in literature, rich,
socially accomplished, but he is des-
tined, though he passes many years at
Vienna, never to see the interior of a
salon Of an Austrian nobleman, unless
with ticket of entrance when the fam
lily are from home. In the eyes of this
class, to be a republican, simple citi-
zen of the United States, represent
ing the Government at Washing

to be an humble parsonage in
deed. But what would become
of the greater part of these exclusives
without this adventitious distinction of
birth. They would be the merest mo-
bodies. As en- aggrieved person re-
marked to me: 1T is all they have. :"
Most Of them are poor, their fortunes
or remnants of fortunes having been
long since swept into the Golfers of the
Jews. to whom also have passed some
titles of the lower grade, 9th the obli-
cations on certain properties and a
modicum of social distinction. The
jews are as aggressive at Vienna az
elsewhere on the Continent. They are
the bankers and brokers. Most of the
fine buildings erected within the last
fifteen years belong to them. They
principally own the railroads and street
car lines, and the stock in insurance
and other corporations. Among them
are numbered many Of the ablest of
journalists. lawyers and doctors. This
success Of race. against whom person

THE BANK OF FRANCE
An Index Of the Prosperity Of the
Republic.


aAVeeAAAS ASor&os
Next to the Bank Of England, the
Bank of France is the largest and most
important Of all the other banks in
Europe. Occupying very nearly the
same position in France as the Bank Of
England does in this county, it is in
many respects similar. and performs for
the country the same kind of duties.
The public moneys are deposited with
the Bank Of France; it alone has the
sole right of issuing notes for that
country. (This is what Sir Robert Peel
would have attached to the privileges
Of the Bank Of England, if he had been
able; but usage and vested interests
were too powerfully Its capital is
possessed by proprietary whose La
bilities are Of o similar nature to those
Of any other banking institution. 1t

persons, and keeps in its Golfers the

Having mentioned these analogies be-
tween these two great banks, there are
points where their conduct DIVORCES
The transactions of the Bank of En-
gland are on larger scale, owing to
the larger mercantile operations in this
country. The commercial habits of the
French are plainly indicated in the
class of bill business which their chief
